My prayers go out to the family and may he rest in peace.
Police said that Macof had asthma and slept in a closed room with the fan turned on all night. They assume he died of heart disease and are investigating the cause of death.
What does sleeping in a closed room with a fan on all night have anything to do with his death?
Koreans and their myths. . . they really think that a fan can be the cause of death, or have something to do with it; they also believe that sub-standard Korean products are sent out of Korea and thus cost less than the "quality" products in Korea.
It's time they wake up and smell the truth.
*edit -split from this thread - split the "fan death" discussion from comments about the deceased - Lemon 1:36pm April 21st* |

Death is the tragedy here. Fan or no fan. Asthma, heart disease... 27 years old? Not a long life was it? I, too, feel for his family.
I sleep with a fan on every night. I couldn't sleep if it wasn't on; too damn stuffy and humid!
I'm sorry to be insensitive, but was he actually found in his bed, or did Mr. Kim have him out on the balcony trying to revive him so he could teach his classes that day? Sad to admit it, but you almost have to die to provide an acceptable reason for a day off due to illness.
Regards... |

| Ok, so who knew this guy? So far we have one person that lives in the same city and knew he was a big guy. Anyone else? Once again, my condolences to the family and friends. |

| Wow, what a funny thread! |
now that really sucks mate.
kazz was huge, i mean huge.. towering over anything else he was near.
he was also very quiet and when he did speak, he was very softly spoken and he had a peaceful disposition. perfectly fitting of the title 'gentle giant'
if i have my info correct, he managed to get to a hospital and later passed on whilst in the hospital.
he was a very nice guy and i often think about him.
rest in peace my man!
I hope more people read this.
You are missed my friend.
this actually happened in june last year |
